First Reactions to Senate Budget

Here's a quick set of links to coverage of the Senate budget plan.

 

Adam Wilson takes a look at how they handle employee health insurance costs.

Good overview at Joe Turner's TNT blog.

The Washington Policy Center says "overspending catches up with lawmakers."

Curt Woodward notes that tax increases figure into the mix.

Another good overview from Rich Roesler, who get high marks for his devastating short-form reaction piece. (If you don't click any other link, click this one.)

Also, check out Brad Shannon's post with links to statements from Republican budget writers.

 

This Saturday editorial from the Daily World still seems timely. Editor Chris Rush offers this:

I'm no prophet, but I don't believe voters here on the Twin Harbors are in any sort of mood to throw more of their hard-earned wages back into the black hole of state government, especially as they witness many programs and services being eliminated.

After having failed to plan for this particular rainy day at the state level, it would be unwise for elected leaders to dig deeper into our pockets and ask us to throw more good money after bad.

Bet that's true for folks outside the Twin Harbors, too.
